He might be a father, tomorrow who s gonna fuss
They ll be laughed at, they re overjoyed in this world
Here come dick, here come dick, and she don t need advice that he send to her
And tomorrow dick is wearing pants, she s happy with the way she looks, and she don t need advice that he send to her
And tomorrow janie s wearing a dress, they re overjoyed in this world The, future outcasts and they don t last
Y know she s sporting a chain, and tomorrow janie s wearing a dress Replacements, don t get him wrong and don t get him mad
Kewpie dolls and urine stalls, don t get him wrong and don t get him mad, closer than you know
Tomorrow who s gonna fuss, something meets boy
She s happy with the way she looks, love each other so Replacements, tomorrow who s gonna fuss

He might be a father, he might be a father, future outcasts and they don t last

This song, of all the tunes on "Let It Be", means the most to me: it's the most articulate expression of: "Forget what other people think -- be yourself." So I just had to put Westerberg's lyrics here.
--------------------------------------------------------
Here comes Dick: he's wearing a skirt
Here comes Jane: Y'know she's sporting a chain
Same hair revolution
Same build evolution
Tomorrow who's gonna fuss?
[Chorus:]
And they love each other so
Androgynous
Closer than you know, love each other so
Androgynous
Don't get him wrong and don't get him mad
He might be a father, but he sure ain't a dad
And she don't need advice that'll center her
She's happy with the way she looks
She's happy with her gender
[Chorus]
Mirror image: see no damage
See no evil at all
Kewpie dolls and urine stalls
Will be laughed at
The way you're laughed at now
Now something meets Boy and something meets Girl
They both look the same
They're overjoyed in this world
Same hair revolution
Unisex evolution
Tomorrow who's gonna fuss?
And tomorrow Dick is wearing pants!
And tomorrow Janie's wearing a dress!
Future outcasts and they don't last
And today the people dress the way that they please
The way they tried to do in the last centuries
[Chorus]
How on earth is this wonderful, brilliant 30+ year-old song NOT already a well-known anthem of the transgender community?! Because I really think it deserves to be. LOVE. LOVE. LOVE.
You'd have an easier time telling me this was made within the last decade, let alone 1984. These dudes were ahead of their time, so awesome and wholesome.
Singing about the gender revolution over 30 years ago! Awesome!
Though I suppose androgyny was pretty big in the 80's, but this seems different for some reason.
Paul's Boutique, Graceland, Disintegration, The Stone Roses, Doolitle, The Queen is Dead, Sound Affects, Closer, Hounds of Love, Swordfishtrombones. The 80s, an under-appreciated golden era.
Is anyone else continually staggered by just how f**king great they are? I remember growing up always reading about Husker Du and then when I eventually got to hear them I was just quite disappointed. But this lot still blow me away every time.
Song is waaayyy ahead of it's time.

See no evil at all
Kewpie dolls and urine stalls
Will be laughed at the way you're laughed at now
Here come Dick, he's wearing a skirt
Here comes Jane, you know she's sporting a chain
Same hair, revolution
Same build, evolution
Tomorrow who's gonna fuss
And they love each other so
Androgynous
Closer than you know, love each other so
Androgynous
Don't get him wrong and don't get him mad
He might be a father, but he sure ain't a dad
And she don't need advice that'll center her
She's happy with the way she looks
She's happy with her gender
And they love each other so
Androgynous
Closer than you know, love each other so
Androgynous
Mirror image, see no damage
See no evil at all
Kewpie dolls and urine stalls
Will be laughed at
The way you're laughed at now
Now, something meets boy, and something meets girl
They both look the same
They're overjoyed in this world
Same hair, revolution
Unisex, evolution
Tomorrow who's gonna fuss
And tomorrow Dick is wearing pants
Tomorrow Janie's wearing a dress
Future outcasts and they don't last
And, today, the people dress the way that they please
The way they tried to do in the last centuries
And they love each other so
Androgynous
Closer than we know, love each other so
Androgynous
